Pokémon: I just became a Gym Leader, and Cynthia proposed to me.

Chapter 317: If the cook doesn't steal, he won't harvest the five grains.

Li Shuwen blinked. He had always thought that the turkeys were greedy, but his was just an isolated case. It turned out that all the turkeys were greedy.

Perhaps it's because the fire element is constantly burning, causing them to consume heat relatively quickly?

Or perhaps Li Shuwen simulated the ancestor of his turkey?

This is a family heirloom of gluttony...

Li Shuwen explained, "That's because those were all unimportant things before, and there was no need to discuss them."

"But today's matter concerns our lives, and I must stand up and say a few words."

Chikorita thought about it and realized that Torchic was right.

Life is your own; you can never be too appreciative of it.

Chikorita pushed the chopped radish into the basket, then took out another radish. "Torchbear, how do you plan to get stronger?"

"We're stuck in the kitchen, how can we possibly get stronger?"

Li Shuwen nodded, "Of course!"

After adding fuel to the fire, Li Shuwen leaped onto the chicory and tortoise-shaped worktable and said to the ingredients inside, "This is how we become stronger!"

The little totoli looked at the turkey speechlessly. "Your solution is to eat it!"

Li Shuwen shook his head. "No, it's about eating, but it's not just about eating! If you want to become stronger through eating, you must choose the right ingredients."

Although many tree fruits from three thousand years ago are not as effective as those carefully cultivated varieties from three thousand years later.

However, there are also some tree fruits that became extinct after three thousand years, which have quite powerful effects.

"As you all know, I'm quite good at eating, so through my experiments, I've discovered some foods that help me become stronger."

"We just need to pick out a portion of these ingredients, add a little more water and a little more wheat flour, and we can do it without anyone noticing!"

"If we get these ingredients that can make our Pokémon stronger, and we eat them, we can evolve them and then we'll be ready for battle."

"We can survive too!"

The little saw-tooth agreed immediately, "Let's do it!"

The little tortoise wasn't afraid of death; he just wanted to become stronger through this method.

If he can evolve into a blue crocodile, he can go to the battlefield.

Instead of wearing restraints, you can wear cool armor.

Li Shuwen looked at the chrysanthemum leaves. "And you?"

Chikorita sighed. "I agree, but what about Mr. Mime? He's unlikely to agree to us withholding food."

Li Shuwen thought for a moment, "Then let's hide the ingredients from the Mr. Mime first, and then feed him the food we've prepared!"

"As long as he eats it, he's one of us."

Chicory was still a little hesitant, but Little Sawtooth made the decision right away.

"I'll distract Mr. Mime, and Chikorita will hide the ingredients. Once we've cooked for 500 people, we'll say that Mr. Mime has worked hard and that the cooking task is now ours."

"Let him rest for a bit."

Since the little saw-tooth said so, Chicory Leaf can only obey the majority.

"Alright."

The three of them discussed how to become stronger, and Mr. Mime also used his superpowers to control a large stack of firewood as he walked in.

The turkey immediately jumped down and added fire to the three large pots.

The Mr. Mime also manipulated the firewood to fly into the stove.

At the same time, use superpowers to stir the ingredients.

Compared to their three initial forms, Mr. Mime's strength is quite impressive.

Getting Mr. Mime to join their plans is indeed not easy.

There was plenty of food for the five hundred soldiers. Before the first pot was even cooked, a man with superhuman strength came in carrying four large buckets.

"Are you ready yet? The soldiers are already up and waiting for their meal."

Mr. Mime waved his hand hurriedly, "Almost done, Torchic, turn up the firepower!"

Li Shuwen breathes fire from below, while the Mr. Mime uses his telekinesis to quickly stir the ingredients.

Although it wasn't fully cooked, it was ready to eat.

The Mr. Mime adds some salt, and Mighty uses a large spoon to scoop it into a large bucket.

The three large pots were just enough to fill the four large buckets that Guai Li had brought.

With incredible strength, he steadily lifted the large bucket and delivered the food to the soldiers.

The Mr. Mime continued to add water, then added the chopped chicory leaves and other ingredients to cook.

Completely unaware of the chrysanthemum leaves, they secretly hid several tree fruits.

They cooked it four times in total, finally preparing enough food for five hundred people.

Li Shuwen sat directly on the ground. For the turkey, this meant increasing the heat to cook enough food for 500 people in such a short time.

It is indeed a bit difficult.

He's completely out of firepower now.

Using the chrysanthemum leaves and vines, several orange fruits were placed in a plate and put in front of Li Shuwen.

"Turkey, eat something to restore your strength."

Actually, Mr. Mime consumes even more energy, but he can still hold on.

Little Totodile chuckled and said, "Mr. Mime, you've worked hard. Let me and Chikorita make breakfast. You can go and rest for a while."

The Mr. Mime didn't think much of it and simply nodded and went to rest to the side.

Once Chikorita has finished making the Mr. Mime, she immediately takes out the hidden ingredients, chops them up, and puts them at the bottom of the pot.

After eating the orange fruit, Li Shuwen managed to regain some of his strength.

The instructions begin with chicory leaves, explaining how to prepare this medicinal dish to enhance physical strength and energy.

Mr. Mime was sitting on the stool, half asleep and half awake, when he suddenly smelled a fragrance.

The Mr. Mime immediately perked up, stood up, and, seeing the food that had turned into mush, exclaimed in surprise:

"I never knew you had a talent for cooking, Chicorya!"

Chikorita managed a weak smile. "Totodile and Torchic were also a great help."

Little Sawtooth said, "Since Chikorita is such a good cook, let's leave our food to Chikorita after we finish preparing the army's food."

"You can rest a bit, so there won't be any problems with lunch."

Chikorita divided the paste into four portions, and Mr. Might take a sip. "Good, let's do it this way."

The little alligator couldn't wait to eat his share.

I tried to sense my body closely, but I didn't feel any changes.

After watching Mr. Mime finish eating, he sat on the stool and took a nap.

The little totosh hopped over to Li Shuwen and asked in a low voice, "Torch, why isn't it working?"

Li Shuwen rolled his eyes. "You're eating food, not treasures. How could you possibly become stronger immediately after eating it?"

"If the ingredients are really that amazing, how come those Pokémon soldiers are only that weak?"

From the kitchen window, you can see the Pokémon soldiers training.

This is also the root of the little tortoise's desire to become a soldier.

"First, fill the pot with water, then use the water gun in the sink to aid digestion, but don't use too much, as we still need to cook lunch."

The little saw-toothed crocodile jumped onto the pool, and Li Shuwen began using sparks on the stove.

Perhaps because they love to eat, turkeys have a lot of potential stored in their bodies.

I was so tired I almost collapsed, but now I can get up and continue using Spark.

Chicory leaves are also chopped using vine whips and sharp blades, and then added to the pot.

Hearing the noise, the Mr. Mime couldn't help but open its eyes.

"This is the first time I've seen the three of you start preparing lunch for the soldiers right after breakfast. What's gotten into you?"

Li Shuwen quickly explained, "It's because I was worried about not being able to handle everything at noon and didn't want to get too tired, so I started preparing in advance."

The Mr. Mime nodded. "Don't mess up the bottom."

He sat down and continued to doze off.

And so, five days passed smoothly.

The middle-aged human soldier rushed into the kitchen before dawn and gave the order, "Prepare food for a thousand soldiers today!"
